the driver, rob collins, is wanted in connection with an alleged sexual assault on a child.e police can arrest him, he takes off. detective steve bowers is one of the officers in pursuit. >> this was the first chase that i've ever had that involved a truck, and the danger is that it's an 80,000 pound vehicle. it's going to run over or destroy anything else on the road. >> alerted by other truck drivers that the suspect is listening to a police scanner, bowers tries to convince the man to give up. >> you need to pull over and stop now before you get shot. >> but the suspect ignores the warning. >> bad things are about to happen if you don't stop. >> with few options, police deploy stop sticks in the path of the semi, but the truck manages to avoid them. another unit waits at the top of a hill, but the suspect spots him and swerves to the right. >> he switched lanes to avoid the stop sticks and sideswiped the other car occupied by two elderly people. >> thrown out two sets of spikes. >> further down the road, deputy troy and trooper patty falk are getting ready to deploy more

everything and it's so overwhelming that you don't know where to start. >> so, mark kirk, rob portman, susan collins, when you get back to washington, d.c. on monday, how about doing your jobs so other folks can get back to work as well? joining me now, john nichols, washington correspondent of the nation. you are baseded in the midwest and kor the midwest for a while. what do you think the politics are like for mark kirk and rob portman on this extension? >> i think they're pretty intense. i think you identified the right folks. i might also throw senator toomey into that mix as well. one of the things that you have to understand and i think that most of your viewers do, is that the great lake states and that's what you're really talking about there, those states have suffered incredible industrialization. so, in a number of cities, places that don't get covered much in national media, western new york, head across, they've had a lot of job losses and people have been put into very tough situations. right now, it's some of the cold e weather that we've had in years. lot of snow. this is not a time

gop senators susan collins, kelly a ayote, rob portman, dan coates, joined dean heller vote with democrats. they objected to the $6.4 billion cost of the three month extension is not offset with spending cuts. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said his party could accept extending benefits that go to people that exhausted state benefits only if they were paid for. many would like to see them extended without adding to the national debt, mr. mcconnell said on the senate floor. you can read the story at thehill.com. senators return from the party lunch as the two 15 eastern. we have live coverage on c-span2. we have set up a facebook page related to the senate work on unemployment benefits. go to facebook .com/cspan. before the vote, senate leaders came to the floor to talk about the pending vote. >> mr. president, over the past several days, we have seen a number of stories about how democrats plan to spend the year gearing up for november elections by making an issue out of economic hardships faced by americans. in other words, instead of working on reforms that would actually help pe

ultimately six republicans, including senator rob portman of ohio, senator susan collins of maine, and four others did vote along with all the democrats who were voting to advance this. but it still has a long way to go. at least two more probably senate votes. some of the republicans who voted for this procedural vote said that they would need offsetting spending cuts to pay for the extension, which cost us three months, about $6 billion, before they would vote for final passage or potentially final cloture vote which would require 60 votes as well. >> in terms of this bipartisan bill, the president called this a bipartisan bill, pointing out dean heller's support of it, where will his allegiances fall when the vote comes later this week likely? >> where will the president's? >> where will senator heller's allegiances fall? >> yes. he's in support. this bill as of right now is unpaid for. he was the first republican to get onboard with senator jack reid -- jack reed of rhode island on an extension. the unemployment rate in nevada is still very high and probably one reason for his supp

they would be a vote or two short of ultimately six republicans including senator rob portman of ohio, senator susan collins of maine, and four others did a vote along with all of the democrats voting to advance this. it still has a long way to go. at least two more senate votes and some of the republicans who voted for this procedural vote said that they would need offsetting spending cuts to pay for these cost of about three months before they would vote for the final passage or potentially the final cloture vote which would involve 60 as well. >> the president called this a bipartisan bill pointing out dean heller's support. where will his allegiances fall when the vote comes later this week likely? >> where will the president's? >> senator heller's allegiances. >> this bill as of right now is unpaid for. first republican to get on board was senator jack reed of rhode island on a three- month extension. the unemployment rate in nevada is so high and that was one reason for his support. senatethrough both the and house, speaker john boehner has already said it needs to be paid for. right now, over the nex

susan collins and lisa murkowski and ohio senator rob portman and new hampshire kelly ayotte. and dean heller who cou-sponsord the bill. before the senate vote, minority leader mitch mcconnell tried to hold unemployment assistance hostage to a one year delay of the individual mandate. as with all things related to congressional rpz, things remain hilariously and irresponsibly unpredictable. another vote must take place before a final vote on the bill which is possibly later this week. then the legislation will travel down the rabbit hole to the lower chamber where speaker boehner said it will face resistance. in a statement he said one month ago i personally told the white house that another extension of temporary emergency unemployment benefits should not only be paid for but include something to help put people back to work. to date the president offered no such plan. if he does i'll be happy to discuss it. right now the house will remain focused on growing the economy and giving the unemployed the independence that only comes from finding a good job. joining any now is squa

then there was dan coats of indiana, susan collins of maine, lisa murkowski of alaska and rob portman of ohio. with senator portman's totally unexpected vote for unemployment insurance, that was enough to break the republican party's filibuster on the bill, so the unemployment extension looks like it is going to pass the senate. they got enough republican votes to break the filibuster and nobody saw that coming. nobody saw that coming. nobody saw that coming. marco rubio who's been talking about poverty and giving his big speech on it tomorrow, he voted no. rand paul, talking about poverty, voted no. mike lee voted no. mitch mcconnell who's been talking about poverty, of course, no, he voted no. enough other republicans voted yes that it happened and that legitimately was a surprise. and once it passes the senate, that will mean it goes to the republican-controlled house where it would be, again, a legitimate surprise if the republicans in the house even allowed a vote on it. but one surprise means maybe there can be another. you know, the problem created by this cutoff of benefits is

dan coats, rob port mast endean heller, susan collins -- all six voted yes.uires another senate vote, plus approval by the hours. >>> and an arizona man has been busted allegedly trying to smuggle a woman into the country in -- you see this picture? it's a suitcase. customs and border protection officers at the port of nogales say they found the thai national hidden underneath clothing after zipping open the suitcase. the man was traveling from mexico to the u.s. and now faces human smuggling charges. >>> a trucker says this crash happened because of the officer who reported this video, had his blue rights flashing. the trucker says the lights diverted his attention just as the traffic was slowing down. by the time he recovered, auld he could do is swerve, at least that's what the driver was saying. >>> and america's most recognizable skier will not be hitting the slopes next month at the winter olympics. lindsey vonn says her injured knee is too unstable to compete. she tore a ligament 11 months ago and aggravated the injury when she crashed in november. she

were expecting to vote with the democrats, susan collins, dean heller, lisa murkows kichlt i and kelly ayotte. >> and who am i missing? >> dan coats and rob portman. >> how likely are they to vote yes on the actual bill? this is just a procedure. >> we are not sure how likely they are. once you get to the actual bill, you will need a simple majority, not to get too far into the weeds here. maybe another 60-vote threshold to get off of the bill. unclear if this ultimately will pass the senate. it looks a lot more likely now that you have not just one but two republicans, two extra republicans. six republicans voting with democrats. >> i want to bring in rana to weigh in on this as well. you are the cnn global economists. talk to me about the impact of this. republicans will say this is costly. this is not chump change. $6.4 billion. they want offsets, a way to pay for it. democrats talk about it being critical to the economy. these benefits go into the economy. people need it to live. is it as simple as that? >> in some ways, it is unemployment itself is costly. it is important to remember that during this recovery, we have seen a higher t

collins got signed somewhere the media would be all over this story. the press pool for these teams games would be flooded and it could in a way create a distraction wouldn't it? >> rob living in it right now although that soccer or european football is not that big of a story in america. he's a ground breaker and a pioneer. sometimes when it comes to lgbt issues in this country, sometimes you only get to break the ground and then it's on to somebody else to advance on your shoulders. so jason might get to break the ground on the issue in the nba and it's going to to be up to somebody else. growing up as a gay kid, we don't have sports role models that we can talk about in this country that we looked up to. and so as a kid we are segreg e segregated from being able to integrate our own confidence in being an athlete with then being a good person. those two don't systematically meet up until much later life. now that we have a jason collins and a robby rogers, now that we have the examples, they're leading the charge. they're clearing the field to allow these hits from the media to come first for people to get used to put and then kids are going to come up with a much
